Kling Avatar 2.0 Standard

Kling Avatar 2.0 Standard is built for production teams that need reliable talking-avatar video from one portrait and one driving audio track. Through multimodal grounding and cross-attention audio-visual alignment, it converts speech into precise lip motion, natural micro-expressions, and coherent head dynamics while keeping the source face recognizable. Optional performance prompts let you steer emotion, gesture rhythm, and speaking stance without changing the simple request contract.
